Comment 2 for bug 308815

Thank you for taking the time to submit this bug. Everyones input is very important in the development of Ubuntu. It looks like you have three problems (bugs) here that need addressing.

1. You have a feature request: Power Manager should offer additional options beyond sleep.

2. You have a support problem: Your power manager is not working correctly : "put display to sleep" controls have no effect at all.
see if this helps:

If the problem persists to help in fixing that problem could you please attach the resulting log file of: gnome-power-bugreport.sh &> gpm.log to the report? Also take a look at the Debugging instructions located at:
 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOMEPowerManager
for any other logs related to your problem that you can submit with your report.

3. the man page should be more clear. I would re submit this with a detailed description of what you would like to see and attach this bug to Ubuntu-docs package.

 Thanks in advance.
